Definitions
- the invention relates to a weld filler material for fusion welding of high strength aluminum alloys, in particular alloys of the AlZnMgCu type.
- welded components of high strength aluminum alloys must meet stringent demands with respect to mechanical strength. Apart from qualitatively good welding, the composition of the weld filler material is also a determining factor. On the one hand, the filler wire materials hitherto used tend to cause heat cracks in the weld metal and, on the other hand, they also cause cracks in the base material immediately adjoining the weld seam, because of their relatively high melting point and the associated large amount of heat introduced. Both types of cracks cause a deterioration of the properties of the welded joint to such an extent that use in load-bearing welded structures is not possible.
- German Patent Specification No. 2,736,484 has disclosed a weld filler material consisting essentially of
- weld filler material of the following composition:
- An alloy which is especially suitable as a weld filler material for fusion welding of AlZnMgCu alloys has the following composition:
- the weld filler material according to the invention is normally used in the form of wire and is suitable for all types of fusion welding processes.
